Losi 22 Tapered Shock Pistons

[Nick]

I’ve just finished making some tapered pistons for mine and my brothers losi 22 cars and thought that maybe other would like a set for their cars. The image below shows a pair of 5 hole 1.3mm.



There is a choice of 4, 5, & 6 holes pistons with 1.2 mm, 1,3mm, 1.4mm & 1.5mm holes. As everyone is using kit pistons at the moment with imperial sized holes I produced the below chart to help me work out the metric equivalent.



Please PM me if you are interested in purchasing a set. I’m selling then at £6 a pair with free postage but as they are made to order, please expect delivery in approx 3-4 days for delivery.

What advantage would these give?

They give a quicker reaction, so are great on bumpy tracks.

As Stagger says they react faster to bumps as the rebounds faster than a standard piston! Also they are CNC machined so are perfectly round unlike a moulded piston that shrinks and distorts during the cooling process. Plus with them being available in 4, 5, & 6 hole this gives you a much better tuning options


I currently have 1.3mm 5 holes in the front and 1.3mm 6 holes rear on losi 30w all round which feels a lot better than the standard kit pistons.

Ditto - feel much more forgiving than the standard ones on the bench when compared back to back. Looking forward to testing them on track !

what is the diffrence between using for example a 4 hole 1,4 mm and a 5 hole 1,3mm piston?? do i have the possebilety to have smaller steps between 2 setup variations??
